# What should I send for a cosmetic product quote?

Start with a SKU list that connects each formula and brand to its responsible person, manufacturer, importer, and sales channel. [Registration & Listing of Cosmetic Product Facilities and Products](https://www.fda.gov/cosmetics/registration-listing-cosmetic-product-facilities-and-products)

Include product classification questions, any formula or supplier changes, adverse-event procedures, and the locations where finished stock is held.
